Plain and simple. That's the way Jean-Francois described his living room. With the latest sports magazines on the table and a spot for his "means of transportation" the Miami native said he does not need much else. "That bike is like my car," Jean-Francois said. "At least it used to be, until my tires ran out of air."

Ricky and Barksdale relax on their living room coach. Ricky, who has three roommates said SIOC was lucky to catch him and one of his roommates at the apartment together. "I'm surprised we are here at the same time," Jean-Francois said. "That rarely seems to happen. Between school, practice and chillin', its like we don't even live here with each other."

Looking at their kitchen you would think him and his roommates clean up well after themselves, but like most things in life, there is a story behind the spotless kitchen. "No one ever cooks in the house," Jean-Francois said. "That's a good thing though because we would probably burn our place down."

Whenever Ricky wants to get away from the Pentagon Dinning Hall foods, he reaches for a sweet snack in his fridge. It may not look like much, but Jean-Francois said one of his favorite snacks is stored in here. "Our fridge isn't anything special," Jean-Francois said. "Except for the cookie's. My roommates can borrow most of my stuff, but when it comes to my cookie dough, they know to keep their hands off."

Two televisions, a DVD player equipped with surround sound and what Ricky calls "the baddest stereo system on campus" is more than enough to fulfill the most audio/visual enthusiasts need for electronics. "How many people do you know have this much stuff in their room?" Jean-Francois said.

When ever Ricky gets a little free time, he pops NFL Madden 2007 into his Playstation 2. Add in the Vicks Chloraseptic spray and the glass of orange juice on the entertainment system and Ricky has everything he needs for a sick day.

Ricky has an 800 watt stereo system sitting on the floor in his room. "Most people have sound in their car, but I keep mine in my room," Jean-Francois said. "You won't find a louder stereo system in anyone's room. Let's just say the girl in the apartment next to me knows when I get home; but I do know when it is time to turn it down."

Although Ricky doesn't know what the posters signify, he said they help him relax in a bed that is barely big enough to fit a small child. Though the bed is small, Jean-Francois said he doesn't have problems falling asleep at night. "When I get home from practice I can fall asleep in anything," Jean-Francois said. "I am just so worn out that nothing seems to bother me."
